Chapter 205 Can we stay here forever?
Zhao Wen did not give any explanation for his actions. Huang Diao blinked, then picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
Huang Diao was too tactless, so Zhao Wen kicked him to remind him, but he was still unaware of it...
It was obvious that Xia Yingying was talking to Yang Liuxu and her daughter. Why did Huang Diao, a rough guy, have to meddle in their discussions?
Yang Liuxu and the others were obviously unaware of the "battle" between Zhao Wen and Huang Diao. Yang Liuxu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Yaya's bowl, and added another piece to her own bowl. After taking a bite, she was also conquered by Xia Yingying's cooking skills.
Zhao Wen had just gone to the inn with Yang Liuxu to help him move his things. Although they had not said much on the way, except for some general greetings, Zhao Wen saw Yang Liuxu eating the braised pork with a satisfied expression on her face, and could not help but say, "Sister-in-law's cooking is delicious, right?"
In addition to this simple greeting, Zhao Wen also talked about the experience of the three brothers coming here at the table.
"At that time, the three of us came here from afar to seek shelter from the wind and rain. We never expected that sister-in-law would not only provide us with jobs but also allow us to eat such delicious meals every day. I really felt like I was living in heaven. Even gods don't live as carefree as I do."
Yang Liuxu didn't know how she could have made Zhao Wen say such a long sentence, but she was a little wary of this outgoing man.
Yang Liuxu had just experienced a failed marriage and wanted to stay away from men as much as possible.
Although she was a little scared, Zhao Wen's experience attracted Yang Liuxu.
She originally thought that Zhao Wen and the other three were just here to work, but she didn't expect that they were here to join Xia Yingying.
Although their experiences were not as tortuous as hers, as colleagues working in the same store, they would inevitably come into contact at work in the future, so it was better to maintain normal communication.
Yang Liuxu also put aside the strangeness in her heart and took the initiative to talk to Zhao Wen.
"You guys are here to seek refuge with the boss lady too. I thought you were a relative of hers."
"It's appropriate to say that we are relatives. We have basically severed ties with our family and don't have many close friends, so we can just treat our friends as relatives." Xia Yingying took the opportunity to say.
Everyone was having a great time at the meal, but because Zhao Wen started talking, everyone started chatting while eating. Basically, by the end of the meal, everyone except the children knew the background of everyone at the table.
Originally, Yang Liuxu was a little nervous and felt a little alienated, worrying that she might not be able to integrate into the environment here, but now she has consciously regarded them as her good friends and partners.
After dinner, Yang Liuxu consciously helped Xia Yingying clean up the dishes. Song Ruyi was about to help, but Yang Liuxu stepped forward and took over.
Zhao Wen and Zhao De wiped the table and swept the floor respectively, and they quickly cleaned the kitchen.
Huang Diao and Xia Yingying asked him to go to the luggage store on the street to buy cotton and asked Song Ruyi to sew a quilt for Yang Liuxu.
Xia Yingying originally wanted to buy a quilt, but as soon as she mentioned it, she was stopped by Xia Yingying.
"Mom can make it when she has time. There's no need to spend money to buy it. It's expensive and we don't know if the cotton inside is good. Don't waste money." Song Ruyi said.
Xia Yingying finally had to give up her plan to buy a quilt.
However, Song Ruyi's frugality is exactly the same as her grandmother, which she finds quite endearing.
After Yang Liuxu washed the dishes, she returned to the room and saw Song Ruyi lighting an oil lamp and half-kneeling on the bed sewing a quilt for her.
There was an indescribable feeling spreading in Yang Liuxu's heart.
Originally, when she came here to work, she was supposed to bring her own quilt, but Xia Yingying took into account her current tight financial situation and took the initiative to buy it for her.
Xia Yingying has done so much, how can Yang Liuxu still let Song Ruyi help her?
So Yang Liuxu stepped forward and immediately stopped Song Ruyi: "Auntie Song, I will sew this quilt myself. You can take the child to rest first. I am good at handwork."
Yang Liuxu had no idea how to do this kind of work, but she had seen maids doing simple sewing and mending, and it looked quite simple, so this little thing should not be difficult for her.
Song Ruyi was not willing to agree. She had heard about Yang Liuxu's misfortune at the dinner table. She thought about being nicer to Yang Liuxu. Besides, the needle had already been inserted. It would be finished sooner or later no matter if it was done sooner or later. Besides, she was skilled in needlework and her work would be better than that of Yang Liuxu, the former young lady.
"Liu Xu, you see I'm almost done with the sewing. You don't need to get involved. I'll be done soon. It won't take long."
Yang Liuxu wanted to grab the needle and thread, but when she thought that she might accidentally hurt Song Ruyi, she gave up and stood still, watching Song Ruyi's movements intently.
The embroidery needle moved in and out flexibly in Song Ruyi's hand, and the quilt was sewn in a short while.
After Song Ruyi sewed the last thread, she tied a knot and cut off the thread ends with scissors.
"It's ok now. You can sleep with the child. If you need anything, just tell me and Yingying. Just treat it like your own home."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Auntie. You should go to bed early too." Yang Liuxu's eyes suddenly became moist. Since she met Xia Yingying, her gloomy life finally had some light.
Yang Liuxu sent Song Ruyi out the door and returned to the room. After she took Yaya to wash up, she lay down on the bed and prepared to rest. She would be the manager of a pastry shop tomorrow, so she had to rest well so that she would have the energy to work.
Although there were bunk beds, there was only one set of quilts and bedding. Yang Liuxu and Yaya, mother and daughter, lay on one bed, with Yaya hugging Yang Liuxu's neck tightly.
"Mother, will no one scold us anymore?"
"Yes." Yang Liuxu's eyes suddenly felt sore.
It was her fault. She did not recognize the true colors of Wu Xingwang and Wu Xingwang's mother early on. She thought Wu Xingwang would turn over a new leaf. However, a disaster had stripped Wu Xingwang of all his true colors.
The relationship between her and Wu Xingwang can be divided into two stages. The first stage was before the failure of Yang's shop. At that time, although he did not have much feelings for Wu Xingwang, the couple respected each other. Wu Xingwang also respected her and took care of her feelings. She thought she and Wu Xingwang would live a plain life like this, but she never expected that Yang's shop encountered a disaster a week ago, and the whole family was wiped out. Wu Xingwang also showed his true colors at this time.
Wu Xingwang married her because he was attracted by her family's wealth. Now that he was no longer of any use to her, he was kicked out by Wu Xingwang and his mother.
At that time, Yang Liuxu also realized that forcing a relationship would not have a good outcome. She was willing to divorce, but she wanted to take all her dowry with her.
Who would have thought that Wu Xingwang and his mother Lu would seize her dowry...
But now she has entered a new life, and everything will get better and better. As for what she lost, sooner or later, she will get it back.
"Mom, the meal Aunt Xia made for us today is really delicious. I want to eat this kind of meal every day in the future, okay?"
Yang Liuxu heard Yaya's babyish voice, touched Yaya's face, and nodded solemnly, "Mom is not a cook, I guess it will be Aunt Xia who cooks in the future. This will be our home from now on. You have to be polite when you meet Aunt Xia, understand?"
"Yes, mother, I know."
Yaya likes this place. There is not only brother Haojie but also sister Jingjing here. Although sister Jingjing doesn’t talk much, she is very nice to her.
In her previous home, no one liked her except her mother, but here, everyone liked her, and she never wanted to go back to that cold home again.
Yaya knew that Yang Liuxu would be sad if she said these words, so she kept them quietly in her heart.
There were no leftovers today, only some rice. Plus, the weather wasn't very hot, so Xia Yingying loosened the rice with a spoon.
Jingjing didn't want to stay here after dinner. Besides, it was very late and Zhao Wen knew the way to the clinic, so Xia Yingying asked Zhao Wen to take Jingjing back, and Lu Haojie went with them.
As soon as Xia Yingying came out of the kitchen, Song Ruyi was waiting for her outside the door, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mom, what's wrong?" "Love is always there, can you please vote for me?"
